I have also been trying to get my DSF files to play directly. I had been converting to DOP as described in your link, but when LMS 7.9 became available for my DS1813+, I dug into how to play my library without having to do the conversion. I found a few problems with the Synology (ARM?) version of LMS, though. The DSDplayer plugin, although showing to be available, didn't work (I note in the nightly LMS 7.9 builds that DSD support only works for some platforms). Another more obscure problem came up - I found 176.4 khz files wouldn't play properly on my Benchmark DAC2. Something gets goofed up with timing, and once I try playing that sample rate, the Benchmark won't decode other files with other sample rates until I disconnect/reconnect the USB cable. Strangely, my iDAC nano has not trouble playing those files from the NAS LMS. So, I installed LMS 7.9 on a Windows computer, enabled the DSDplayer plugin, checked the "Enable DSD-over-PCM" box for all my players, and pointed that LMS to the NAS for its media folders. Voila! Now I can play DSF files on my NAS through the LMS on my Windows computer with my Squeezebox Touch and various DACs without having to convert. I can also play 176.4 khz PCM files this way. It requires an extra device in the playing chain, but you need that device anyway to convert to DOP format. And, yes, it does sound lovely! I'm quite happy to use this set up until the ARM version is working properly.
